  • Commercial vs open source for app monitoring [Ed: Open Source is also "Commercial". Stop rebranding malicious proprietary software with back doors "Commercial" as if to imply FOSS is not suitable for commercial use.]

    In 2019 you might already be asking yourself, "Should we go with open source or commercial monitoring for our growing cloud application?” This question is as old as open source software itself, but with the rapid growth of cloud-native applications (software that utilizes services and infrastructure provided by cloud providers like Amazon EC2, Azure, IBM, VMWare, etc), it's becoming more critical than ever - especially because not all monitoring suites can cover every potential break in cloud native apps.

  • Seizing the Opportunity to Close the Cybersecurity Skills Gap

    The proliferation of open source software has changed the training landscape dramatically. Today, there is a plethora of low cost or even free options available, ranging from books to online forums to go-at-your-own-pace training programs.

  • HMD released the source code for Nokia 7 Plus

    Nokia’s Open source releases page just got updated with the source code of Nokia 7 Plus. HMD is using software licensed under the General Public License (GPL) and Lesser General Public License (LGPL) which means it has to release the source code used for devices. HMD can provide just selected parts of source code which developers can use to make custom ROM’s for which you’ll need unlocked bootloader. Unfortunately, this is possible only for Nokia 8 which bootloader is the only one unlocked by now.

  • Zumasys Acquires OpenQM

    Zumasys announced today its acquisition of OpenQM, a high-performance, self-tuning MultiValue database, from UK-based Ladybridge Systems.

    As the exclusive global distributor of OpenQM since 2015, Zumasys more than doubled worldwide sales of OpenQM for three consecutive years by adding 24x7 telephone support, professional services and an automated conversion process which makes it easy for customers to migrate their existing applications to OpenQM.

  • Open Source as an Answer to Your LMS Pain Points

    With hundreds of LMSs out in the market, the decision of which software to go with can be overwhelming! How do you begin your search? A good place to start is to consider if you would like to have open-source software or a proprietary solution. We are a big proponent of open-source software like Moodle and Totara Learn.

    Let’s break down the question of open-source or proprietary into three key areas that usually cause the most pain: flexibility, customization, and (of course) price.

  • toying with wireguard on openbsd

     

    New year, new network. WireGuard promises to be a simpler more secure alternative to IPsec, and there’s a beta iOS client, so I thought I’d try my hand at setting up a server endpoint.
     

    The caveats are that the documentation is sparse at times, and it’s mostly for Linux. The good news is it does deliver on the promise of simplicity. I was able to muddle along without too many missteps.  

  • 1973: When Calculators Were Built Like Computers

    Should you ever pick up [Steve Wozniak]’s autobiography, you will learn that in the early 1970s when his friend [Steve Jobs] was working for Atari, [Woz] was designing calculators for Hewlett Packard. It seems scarcely believable today, but he describes his excitement at the prospects for the calculator business, admitting that he almost missed out on the emerging microcomputer scene that would make him famous. Calculators in the very early 1970s were genuinely exciting, and were expensive and desirable consumer items.

    [Amen] has a calculator from that period, a Prinztronic Micro, and he’s subjected it to an interesting teardown. Inside he finds an unusual modular design, with keyboard, processor, and display all having their own PCBs. Construction is typical of the period, with all through hole components, and PCBs that look hand laid rather than made using a CAD package. The chipset is a Toshiba one, with three devices covering logic, display driver and clock.

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
